Book Reviews of Voice Lessons: Classroom Activities to Teach Diction, Detail, Imagery, Syntax, and Tone

Book Review: Just what I was hoping for
Summary: 5 Stars

I just got this Voice Lessons book, and, as I hoped, it is jam packed with reproducibles! Each lesson could take one class period or less, and there is a lot of variety. I was glad it wasn't primarily a book about theory. This is a take it to the photocopier and you have a lesson for the day book.
